Affiliated Quotes
What is unique about the My Medicare Matters(TM) campaign is that it is a grassroots, on-the-ground educational initiative that is not affiliated with any specific plan.

Agree Quotes
We understand and agree that performance audits are a good thing, but this goes beyond what is needed or prudent right at this moment. The initiative doesn't provide enough money and creates more state bureaucracy. If the auditor quadrupled staff to do all these audits, it could cost $90 million a biennium.

Against Quotes
To me, it's a misuse of the initiative process, ... It's a clear device to circumvent the Legislature and spend a lot of money on oversimplified descriptions of these propositions and hope that the Trojan horses, (which) each of these are, will deceive a bored and not well-enough-informed public into staying home or vote in a way that is against their own best interest.

Against Quotes
Driving a pink race car attracts a certain amount of attention and I'm very proud to be part of the team's initiative to bring this worthy cause to the forefront. Raising awareness is just so important in the fight against breast cancer and I'm proud to do this for the women in my life, like my mom and my wife, and for our race fans both men and women that are touched by this terrible disease. We're hoping we can make a difference in the fight for prevention and a cure just by getting the message out there.

Agree Quotes
The short answer is that there might be more organizations going to the ballot initiative because they can't get their issues before the Legislature. Either that or they don't agree with what the Legislature has done. Either way, the reason we're doing our initiative is it won't get done by the Republican Legislature.

Anyone Quotes
Anyone who would say it's worse than it was before isn't being realistic. Before you could run around without the glare of the spotlight on you when you were conducting your search. Now at least you can't do that. You are going to draw attention. Some situations are going to have some uniqueness, but I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater and say the whole initiative if flawed. It's too early to say that.

Agreed Quotes
That's what our problem is. We haven't had anyone step up and take the initiative to assume the responsibility for the management of that type of thing. The water board has agreed to take on the responsibility, but it will be costly. We're just in that process of trying to get an aquifer manager to do that.

This initiative is the result of much discussion and modeling on how to reach survivors of disasters, and is the first attempt to provide actionable information through an advisory group model.
